Blockade strategy?

I am sure no damage was done during the whole combat, quite a few times actually. Planets with two weapon-platforms and 20 million settlers were impossible to take down from afar with missiles and Maximal Range. And yes, there were no point-defense on these platforms. Don't ask. I seem to recall there was actually an explosion, but on the "outside" part of the planet. (The eight squares on the border, not the eight inward squares)
